[3.1] JUGGERNAUT/BERSERKER 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank, Atziri Killer+a BoR version

Hey, glad you're enjoying it!

I prefer docks personally as it has guaranteed magic mobs. But I wouldn't spend too much time on it, you can just do a ton of 66 maps, especially if you're over-leveled for ledge/docks.

Hey just wondering, is BOR viable in this build with soul taker and aegis?

Thanks!

Yes, BoR is quite viable, there's already been people here or in the duelist thread that did a bor combination of this build and were quite happy. Also, bor+aegis+soul taker is actually the "mainstream" in the current meta. Just check Havoc's build that killed the first atziri on invasion (he used cyclone for his skill).

Thanks.

Are you suggesting that I can use the same build just with different gems? Is there anything I need to change or can you give me a specific tree for internal blow?

The tree wouldn't be exactly the same if you used some other skill. Some nodes like lava lash have sense only if you use IB.

If you're using infernal blow, you can use any of the passive skill tree versions I linked. Only thing you'll have to look out for are resistances, so you might take the "low resistances from gear" version of the tree. But you'll see for yourself, depends on the gear you have, obviously.

Uploaded a new video of me AFK facetanking a huge pack in the apex of sacrifice (atziri map):

I'll upload the atziri bosses videos soon.

Hi, I started this build with an empty stash and as a noob to this game. I played it in invasion for 46 hours so far completely solo (still alive, phew!).

Level: 56
Life: 2071
Mana: 420 (302 with tempest shield + reduced mana gem)
Armour: 1969
DPS: 1264 (Infernal-Blow + MeeleSplash + Weapon Elemental Damage + Multistrike)

(my gear is really bad compared to the stuff you guys are posting)

Here some experiences I made so far:

• The high miss-chance really gave me a hard time in the beginning so I decided to respect and go directly for resolute technique
• Dominus in Normal was no problem with infernal blow at level 42
• for Vaal on Cruel I had to kite him using Lesser-Multiple-Projectiles + Spectral-Throw because in meele he nearly one-hitted me :-O
• During the whole time I had to ALT-F4 around once per hour. mostly when I became frozen.
• I have to gulp from three mana potions all the time but I'm fine with that so far. No mana leech gear found yet :-(
• I was very lucky to find multistrike! This one boosted my dmg by 25%!
• I still need to kite most of the rouge exiles in cruel act 3. I use the Rejuvenation Totem a lot for support here.
• currently I play around with enduing cry + imoortal call but can not see much benefit in it...
• enfeeble is very usefull though. This one I'm useing a lot!
• I can not use tempest shield + hatred + reduced mana because this would lower my mana to 100 which is simply not enough.
• hatred would be great though: my dmg is 1619 with hatred!
• I do not dare to go for dominus yet, and plan to level up to 60

I tried to stick to the first passive tree option in this build:

Going for Dominus in merciless is completely unnecessary and very risky, especially in Invasion. If you need a challenge or a "goal" to strive for, I would recommend simply grinding docks till level 66 or when you feel comfortable to start maps. Maps are also a lot more fun than Dominus, at least IMO.

You shouldn't ever be using 3 mana potions... :/ 1 should be enough.

For Invasion, I would recommend Determination + Tempest Shield. Maybe you can't run them yet, but when you level Reduced mana a bit more, you should be able to.

Enduring Cry + Immortal Call is a HUGE boost to survivability, although it might not seem so to you. If you're running it on CWDT, level them to the levels I have in my gear: CWDT lvl 7, Immortal Call lvl 8, Enduring Cry lvl 9.

Buy gear with mana leech as soon as possible. The cheapest solution is Slitherpinch:

It costs only 1 chaos.

Added a video of Double Vaal kill:

Been playing this build for a little while, currently level 82. Been having a lot of fun with it, I basically have the exact same gear you do.

I made a few changes, though. I'm now using cyclone, conc effect, LGoH, faster attack, melee phys, added fire dmg. I feel like my survivability is better now since I leech life so quickly, and the damage is pretty nice.

Thanks for the guide :)
